SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design
DESCRIPTION:with Kel Troughton\nDesign your own original typeface in 10 weeks!\nDuring this 10-week online course (meeting on Monday evenings from October 2-December 11—no meeting on November 20)\, you will create your own original typefaces as you gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show you how to systematically think about type and to help you successfully make a font. The course will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, introducing you to the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work. You will work in Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each meeting for review. Throughout the workshop you will learn various lessons about type\, history\, sketching\, and get weekly feedback on your type projects. \nThis 10-week workshop is suitable for anyone just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to further develop their skills and processes. Some experience with drawing Bézier curves (in Adobe Illustrator\, for instance) and with typography is recommended but not required. This is a great course for anyone interested in applying to the Type West Postgraduate Certificate Program in Type Design\, which will be accepting applications throughout the month of October 2023. \nA free temporary license for Glyphs App will be made available to all participants. The class is capped at fifteen students to allow for more one-on-one instruction.

SUMMARY:We are All in it Together: Power of the Press
DESCRIPTION:The saying goes\, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one” but what if the community’s words could be printed and freely shared…Thea Sizemore of Kavamore Press is doing just that. \nJoin us for an uplifting talk with Thea Sizemore about a social print project that is geared toward elevating the voices of the community. The project began early in the pandemic\, providing an immediate and meaningful social justice service for the general public though protest poster production and distribution. A neighbor gifted a defunct newspaper box which was then up-cycled for the project and “Fresh Prints” Box was born. What happened after that is the beauty of human nature…. connection at a distance\, community growth through the power of the press. \nUsing traditional equipment from the 1900s\, hand set type and ink on paper\, Sizemore has been able to build a new kinda “social media” that is tethered to the rich history of the printing press. Sizemore will show examples of posters\, discuss working methods and most importantly share how interactions with strangers brought light to a dark pandemic period and started a long term art practice. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Thea Sizemore\, letterpress printer\, artist\, and instructor

SUMMARY:California Burning: The Fall of Pacific Gas and Electric--and What It Means for America's Power Grid
DESCRIPTION:Join Wall Street Journal reporter and Pulitzer finalist Katherine Blunt as we examine how a powerful company can put people in a powerless (and deadly) situation. \n  \nCalifornia Burning: The Fall of Pacific Gas and Electric—and What It Means for America’s Power Grid is a revelatory\, urgent narrative with national implications\, exploring the decline of California’s largest utility company that led to countless wildfires—including the one that destroyed the town of Paradise—and the human cost of infrastructure failure. \n  \nPacific Gas and Electric was a legacy company built by innovators and visionaries\, establishing California as a desirable home and economic powerhouse. In California Burning\, Katherine Blunt examines how that legacy fell apart—unraveling a long history of deadly failures in which Pacific Gas and Electric endangered millions of Northern Californians\, through criminal neglect of its infrastructure. As PG&E prioritized profits and politics\, power lines went unchecked—until a rusted hook purchased for 56 cents in 1921 split in two\, sparking the deadliest wildfire in California history. \n  \nCalifornia Burning is a deeply reported\, character-driven narrative\, the story of a disaster expanding into a much bigger exploration of accountability. It’s an American tragedy that serves as a cautionary tale for utilities across the nation—especially as climate change makes aging infrastructure more vulnerable\, with potentially fatal consequences. \n  \n​Katherine Blunt has written about utilities and renewable energy for the Journal since 2018. Her coverage of PG&E\, reported in close collaboration with two colleagues\, was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting and earned a Gerald Loeb award\, the highest honor in business journalism. The series also won the 2019 Thomas L. Stokes Award for energy and environmental writing\, as well as a silver Barlett & Steele award through the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Kenneth Gloss on a Bookseller's Improbable Finds
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Gloss\, a rare book specialist and appraiser who runs the Brattle Book Shop in Boston and appears on national TV shows (including Antiques Roadshow)\, will speak on “improbable finds” of his decades-long career. As he describes the surprises he’s experienced while bookselling: “one day you find yourself drinking from Thomas Jefferson’s coffee service\, and the next day you’re fumigating your truck of fleas. The house you’re visiting could contain a handful of Turner watercolors\, or a roomful of live ammunition.” His talk will cover spectacular finds\, such as T.S. Eliot’s copy of The Great Gatsby and Isaac Newton’s copy of Principia Mathematica. One day\, a customer walked into the Brattle Book Shop with a Nuremberg Chronicle and a Kelmscott Chaucer! And he’s experienced some unexpected challenges\, too—when he was invited to look at “about 500” books\, he instead encountered three floors of more than 20\,000 nearly perfect dust-jacketed books that he simply had to buy (and figure out how to transport). The unusual and the extraordinary will abound in this illustrated lecture. Kenneth Gloss belongs to organizations including the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America\, International League of Antiquarian Booksellers\, Southern New England Antiquarian Booksellers\, and Committee for the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair. He is a Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society and serves on the Board of Overseers of the USS Constitution Museum. \n  \nRegister for the virtual or for the in-person event.

SUMMARY:Tips & Tricks for Developing Design Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 7\, for the first of two virtual lectures with designer and book artist Brenda Gallagher. This first will cover generating design ideas for bookbinding. \nA basic how-to for bookbinders looking for ways to create design ideas for bookbinding\, the talk will begin with the content and mood of the book. Brenda will discuss how to respond artistically to the content of the book with your own visual statement. We will explore ways to work around the negative inner voice\, beginning with word play and exploring ideas with thumbnail sketching through to designing final compositions. Other topics covered will be what to do when you get stuck and the value and vulnerability of receiving feedback from others. \n  \nBrenda Gallagher is a graphic designer\, book artist and fine bookbinder living in Niwot\, Colorado. She has worked designing commercial books and magazines for over 25 years in the Boulder area and serves on the board of the Boulder Book Arts League.

SUMMARY:Carmen Boullosa: The Book of Eve
DESCRIPTION:What if everything they’ve told us about the Garden of Eden was wrong? Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and 91 chapters\, Eve decides to tell her version of the story of Genesis: she was not created from Adam’s rib\, nor is it correct that she was expelled for taking the apple from the serpent; the story of Abel and Cain isn’t true\, neither are those of the Flood and the Tower of Babel. In brilliant prose\, Mexican author Carmen Boullosa offers a twist on the Book of Genesis that dismantles patriarchy and rebuilds our understanding of the world—from the origin of gastronomy\, to the domestication of animals\, to the cultivation of land and pleasure—all through the feminine gaze. She reads from and discusses her work.

SUMMARY:So Many People\, Mariana: A Happy Hour Reading with Magdalena Edwards
DESCRIPTION:Long discounted by a literary culture that actively rejected women’s writing\, Maria Judite de Carvalho’s biting and bitterly funny work has since exploded across the world. Collecting the entirety of her short works written between 1959 and 1967\, when the Salazar dictatorship and the rigid edicts of the Catholic church reigned\, the stories in So Many People\, Mariana might as well have been written today. These are tough\, unflinching accounts of women trapped by a culture that values them as workers or wives but not as people. And if they do escape their circumstances\, they are\, more often than not\, irrevocably punished by the world. Join Two Lines Press for happy hour cocktails (on them!) and be led into the sensuous dark of life under patriarchal capitalism as writer\, actor\, and translator Magdalena Edwards performs one of Carvalho’s unsparing short stories\, translated into English by Margaret Jull Costa.

SUMMARY:Neon: A Light History
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible that (once again) everything we know is wrong? Well\, in regards to the history of neon\, this may well be the case. Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein have penned a brief\, but concise history of the neon sign beginning at the beginning\, and covering scandals\, murder\, fascists\, and forgotten inventors. A full-color\, lavishly illustrated electrical bodice ripper\, aficionados of neon will find this an indispensable “bible” to the history of their favorite collision of art and commerce. \nRevealing neon signs as active agents in sweeping cultural\, economic\, and political changes nationwide\, DeLyser and Greenstein introduce readers to a compelling cast of characters\, many of whom\, they show\, continue to keep neon vibrant today. Taking readers inside the signs themselves\, the authors show how each sign\, whether historic or contemporary\, is made by skilled hands—today just as they were over one hundred years ago. \nDrawing from over a decade of in-depth archival and ethnographic research as well as more than four decades of experience in the sign industry\, DeLyser and Greenstein use Los Angeles—not New York or Las Vegas—as focal point\, showing how neon signs have catalyzed urban change\, and how they continue to hold appeal for our changing communities—developing with the automobile and car-and-consumer culture in the twentieth century\, expanding from cities to towns\, and along highways to remote roadside outposts. From the earliest luminous tubing in the 1890s to the artistic creations of today\, from community-funded restorations of historic signs to ordinary-seeming business signs that have become community icons\, DeLyser and Greenstein show how\, just as neon signs lit our past\, they can now light our shared future. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\, and Paul Greenstein\, author and neon light professional
